Strains of Hanseniaspora osmophila and Kloeckera corticis, isolated from wines produced by spontaneous fermentations of normal and dried grapes, were characterized for their fermentation behavior with and without SO(2) at 25 degrees C. All isolates behaved as glucophilic yeasts and yielded ethanol at concentrations of about 9% (v/v); acetic acid, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate and acetoin were always produced to high concentrations. SO(2) addition had no significant effect on growth yield and fermentation rate. These metabolic features were maintained in the presence of 400 g l(-1) of sugars and at 15 degrees C, and were quite similar to those shown by Saccharomycodes ludwigii. Therefore, H. osmophila and K. corticis should be considered detrimental yeast species, particularly in fermentations of musts from dried grapes.

Fruits and vegetables offer substantial nutritional and health benefits, but their short shelf life necessitates effective preservation methods. Conventional drying techniques, while efficient, often lead to deterioration in food quality. Recent advancements highlight the potential of infrared blanching (IRB) as a preparatory process to improve drying outcomes.

The browning of Thompson seedless grapes during shade-drying significantly hampers the sustainable and healthy development of the industry. This study investigates the browning phenomenon and reactive oxygen species (ROS) dynamics when Thompson seedless grapes, treated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), and water (QS), are dried in the shade. The effects of these treatments on ROS metabolism were analyzed through physiological, biochemical, and proteomic analyses.

Raisin can be used a substitution of artificially sweetened snacks/ingredients, in order to counteract the increasing consumption of sugar-added foods, which is associated to adverse health effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenolic content, reducing capacity and antiglycation activities of traditional, sun-dried raisin samples obtained from six Tunisian varieties. Total phenolics were determined by the Folin Ciocalteu assay, proanthocyanidins by depolymerisation with n-butanol/HCl, monomeric and dimeric flavanols, flavonols and anthocyanins by HPLC with diode array and fluorimetric detectors.

The spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive species native to China. It was first discovered in the United States in Pennsylvania in 2014. It is known to cause great economic damage by destroying various crops, specifically grape vines, and therefore, several efforts have been made to control and mitigate its spread from the Northeast.
